Abstract

Abstract: In this work of curricular integration of the Occupational Safety and Health career of the Private Technical University of Loja, the objective is to evaluate the ergonomic risk in the construction sector in workers from the Chambo canton. In the following project we apply the Kuorinka, REBA, OCRA and Ergo/IBV methods to analyze the postures, movements, strength and load of the workers who perform brick gluing, a task that involves great physical effort and which can cause musculoskeletal disorders, fatigue, stress or accidents. A questionnaire is applied to a sample of 9 workers, and information is collected through surveys and videos. Then, process the data with the ERGO/IBV software and obtain the losses and ergonomic risk levels for each worker and each subtask. I end up concluding that worker 3 is the one with the greatest ergonomic risk in all subtasks, and that the subtask of gluing the brick is the one with the greatest risk overall. The author recommends taking corrective or preventive measures to improve working conditions and reduce the risk of injury.
